Logo EU - Co-financed by the European Union
A flyer entitled "seRo.inTech - Use of innovative technologies to develop secondary raw material sources in Thuringia". The flyer informs that the project is funded by the Free State of Thuringia and co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF) Plus. The URL www.esf-thueringen.de is shown at the top left and the logo of the Free State of Thuringia at the top right. Below this is a picture of two hands, each holding a puzzle piece that is being put together. At the bottom is the text "Co-financed by the European Union" together with the EU logo.

Research question / project object:

The seRo.inTech research group is pursuing the goal of mobilising selected waste streams through targeted collection strategies and producing high-quality secondary raw materials for use in practice. Defined material streams in Thuringia are comprehensively analysed with regard to various criteria, such as collection, mobilisation, processing and recycling: Collection, mobilisation, processing, recycling and economic and ecological factors.

Summary of the project

The Thuringian Innovation Centre for Recyclable Materials (ThIWert), consisting of Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences (HSN), the Institute for Applied Building Research Weimar gGmbH (IAB) and the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Institute for Future-Oriented Infrastructure Systems (b.is), has successfully acquired funding from the Thuringian funding programme FTI-Thüringen PERSONEN. The approved research group seRo.inTech is a research project funded by the state of Thuringia and co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+).

The seRo.inTech research group is pursuing the goal of mobilising selected waste streams through targeted collection strategies and producing high-quality secondary raw materials for use in practice. Defined material streams in Thuringia are comprehensively analysed with regard to various criteria, such as collection, mobilisation, processing and recycling: Collection, mobilisation, processing, recycling as well as economic and ecological factors. In addition, aspects of decarbonisation are taken into account in relation to the topic of resource recycling. The research group seRo.inTech focuses in particular on the material flows of bulky waste, mixed construction waste and textiles, which have so far only been subject to targeted processing and material recycling in the sense of the circular economy to a limited extent.

The research project is being carried out jointly by the project participants, Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences (HSN), the Institut für Angewandte Bauforschung Weimar gGmbH (IAB) and the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Institut für zukunftsweisende Infrastruktursysteme (b.is). The project is supported by an industrial advisory board consisting of 6 practice partners.

Institute:

A large, modern, white office building with three floors. The building has numerous windows and is surrounded by a tarmac area and a well-kept lawn. In front of the building is a large plant in a grey planter. To the left of the building is a sign with the words "ThIWert". The sky is blue with a few clouds.
